Wed, 06 Nov 2013 08:10:25 +0000http://dirtmountainbike.com/?p=92824#comment-1045666I have personal accident insurance through my bank and have had it for a long time. I was riding my usual xc ride in Cannock when I had a big crash and broke my knee cap and shoulder. I have to say I didn’t have much of a payout but every little helps. If I was operated on and stayed in hospital it would have paid a lot more. Luckily my work were fantastic and paid my basic wages which they didn’t have too. I was off for a month so for the sale of a few quid per week it’s deffo worth it

An income protection policy would be a good idea for people who are worried about not being able to work through an accident and quite a few policies will cover physio visits etc. All the big life companies provide Income Protection, have a look into it or find a decent financial adviser to give you a bit of advice.

Personally I think the insurance is great to ‘top up’ as physio sessions on NHS are limited etc.
